Congress playing Mind Game or Desperate?

All the T-Congress leaders including TPCC President Ponnala Lakshmaiah have expressed full confidence of winning the elections and forming of the first government in Telangana. Wearing bold faces, they also announced that they do not want poll alliance with TRS and nor they are desperate for it. However, Congress high command has never endorsed their statements, instead AICC General Secretary Digvijay Singh keep telling that the Congress doors are still open for TRS, even when TRS shuts its doors on his face.

TPCC President Ponnala Lakshmaiah, who returns from New Delhi yesterday, also now start singing chorus with his high command over having poll alliance with TRS. He said that he is still waiting for TRS to respond to his proposals for poll alliance.

But, TRS leader Harish rao speaking to media has said “Congress party is playing mind games with us by repeatedly telling the media that we are negotiating with them over poll alliance. They are doing so in a bid to misguide the people of Telangana and our leaders. But, that poll alliance-chapter was closed long ago and there is no scope for any negotiations with Congress party.”

Harish rao seems to correctly judge the Congress idea behind its media statements. Congress high command is very much aware that it can’t face and win the elections in a direct fight with TRS, TDP and BJP. So, the beleaguered Congress is trying to distract its rivals with this idea. At the same time it is also trying to attract rival parties’ leaders into it, by projecting itself larger than life size. But, all its attempts clearly revels that it lacks self-confidence and badly need the helping hand of TRS party to pass the elections test.
